[CentOS] .htaccess for script aliased directories

2008-04-24 Thread Pam Astor

With the great assistance I got here I was able to get .htaccess to work on a 
centos 5.1 box running Apache 2.2.3 a few days ago.
 
 One other question.  I am trying to protect a sub dir within the web space of 
a domain that is serving site statistics of awstats generated pages.  The path 
to the dir is /home/user1/www/awstats.  When testing, I am able to get a 
username and password prompt for the front page of the site, i.e. for 
www.mydomain.com, when I place the .htaccess file in www, but I can’t get a 
prompt for www.mydomain.com/awstats when I place the .htaccess in awstats.  
 
I am using the below script alias in the virtual domain conf.d file for this 
site the awstats directory is located in, so that awstats can generate the log 
file stats and alias them to the awstats dir which is empty:
ScriptAlias /awstats/ /usr/local/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/
 
I’m assuming that’s why I can’t get a login prompt – any suggestions as to how 
to protect the awstats dir with .htaccess for a script alias’ed directory?
The .htaccess file which I was using and works fine for the main www dir is:
 
AuthName “/www”
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/user1/.htpasswd
Require user guest

 That you got a server error is good.   Here are the last two log file 
 entries for that httpd request:  you want to look in the *error* log if you 
 look for errors!I could not access the site,  which means exactly 
 what? ;-)
 
OK, starting from scratch this morning,
here is the .htaccess file I am using which is inside of the
/home/LinuxAccountName/www directory:
 
 
Directory /home/LinuxAccountName/wwwOptions NoneAuthName 
UserNameIUsedToCreatePasswordWithAuthType BasicAuthUserFile 
/home/LinuxAccountName/.htpasswdRequire valid-user/Directory
www above refers to the root or web directory - the lowest or first or base
directory that is web accessable.
And, this is the error I am getting from my httpd error log for this domain:
 
[Sun Apr 20 07:47:40 2008] [alert] [client 75.46.110.14] 
/home/LinuxAccountName/.htaccess: Directory not allowed here
 
When I point my web browser to the domain name that the above .htaccess is 
written for, I get the below error in my web browser:
 
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to 
complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and inform them of 
the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have 
caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

2008-04-19 Thread Pam Astor

  The syntax for auth stuff changed between Apache 2.0 and 2.2 (which is
  used in CentOS 5). In particular, you'll need a AuthBasicProvider
  declaration:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_basic.html#authbasicprovider
 
 Thans Paul,
 That's new news to me :)
 
 For the OP, I believe it would be:
  Location /secure
 AuthType basic
 AuthName private area
 AuthBasicProvider file
 AuthDBMType file
 AuthDBMUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd
 Require valid-user
 /Location

Thanks,

OK I tried that and it still would not work, I am not prompted for
a username or password on the site I want to protect.

Do I also need to add a new entry in httpd.conf or load a new apache
module?

  Do I also need to add a new entry in httpd.conf or load a new apache
  module?
 
 Not by default, no.
 
 There are several AllowOverrides statements in the default httpd.conf.
 Which did you modify?
 
 The one you wanted should be around line 327, looking like this:
 
 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 
 #
 # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
 # It can be All, None, or any combination of the keywords:
 #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
 #
 AllowOverride None
 
 #
 # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
 #
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
 
 /Directory
 
 Change the AllowOverride to AuthConfig, and that should be just about it.
 
 You don't want to use the AuthDBMType unless you're using htdbm
 instead of htpasswd to generate your password file lists.
 
 You also need to make sure that apache has access to the area where
 you're putting your .htaccess.
 
 If you're stuffing this in your home directory like it looks above,
 apache doesn't have permissions in here unless you've modified your
 homedir to 711 from 700. Selinux can also cause some issues in here as
 well if you have it enabled and haven't changed contexts.
 
 Without fully seeing the config that you're using and some info about
 the dir you're trying to restrict, it'll be a little harder to offer
 more help.

I reset AllowOverride  to AuthConfig and it's still not working.

OK the dir I am trying to password protect (named www) is the home or main or 
root directory of
www.mydomain.com - it is owned by apache  The permissions on www were set to 
755.  .htaccess is located
inside www and is also owned by apache.  .htpasswd is just below, or outside of 
www  and outside of web access
and is also owned by apache.

I do have selinux enabled I believe.

For my httpd.conf, I have one main configuration file in /etc/httpd/conf and 
for each virtual domain, I have individual
www.mydomain.com.conf files with associated virtual host tags inside, and 
located in /etc/httpd/conf.d directory.

I also tried placing the AllowOverride AuthConfig directive inside the 
individual conf.d virtual domain

files but then apache would not reload, so I took them out and reloaded again.

Are the individual conf.d files causing the problem?

RE: [CentOS] Can't get .htaccess to work

2008-04-19 Thread Pam Astor

  For my httpd.conf, I have one main configuration file in /etc/httpd/conf
  and for each virtual domain, I have individual
  www.mydomain.com.conf files with associated virtual host tags inside, and
  located in /etc/httpd/conf.d directory.
 
 Okay. These are vhost configs only. You *can* set them globally in
 httpd.conf, but they can be overwritten later, so it's best to do it
 vhost by vhost.

OK so do/set what vhost by vhost?  Place the  AllowOverride AuthConfig 
directive vhost by vhost?  If that's what yo u meant, I tried again inserting 
the 

Directory /
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
/Directory

and the 

Directory /
AllowOverride AuthConfig
/Directory

directives inside the individual vhost file and am still not getting a login 
prompt on the site.
However this time, apache did reload for both directives.
The reason why It did not reload last time, was because all I did earlier was
insert the  AllowOverride AuthConfig statement inside the vhost file, without 
the directory tags,
so at least there is some progress there ;)

  I also tried placing the AllowOverride AuthConfig directive inside the
  individual conf.d virtual domain
   files but then apache would not reload, so I took them out and reloaded
  again.
 
 This depends on where within the vhost config you put them. Apache
 should tell you exactly what line of the config the error is on, and
 what exactly is wrong with it.

I did not get indication from apache what line the syntax error 
was or what file either, all I got was:

Reloading httpd: not reloading due to configuration syntax error
   [FAILED]
But I guess that point is moot now since at least httpd is reloading.
I have however got line-syntax indications for other apache errors,
just don't know why I was not getting them for this error.

 
  Are the individual conf.d files causing the problem?
 
 Only because they aren't formatted properly.
 
 
  Location /secure
  AuthType basic
  AuthName private area
  AuthBasicProvider file
  AuthDBMUserFile /home/maindir/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
  /Location
 
 This one is wrong because you're pointing a DBM statement to a flat
 user file which isn't in dbm format.
 
  Location /secure
   AuthType basic
   AuthName private area
   AuthBasicProvider file
  Require valid-user
   /Location
 
 This one sets the auth type outside everything else, and provides
 multiple names.
 
  AuthUserFile /home/maindir/.htpasswd
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName My Secret Folder
  Require valid-user
 
 
 
 Here's a statement that I know works, from my nagios setup at home,
 altered for what you're looking to do.
 
 
 Directory /change/this
Options None
AuthName Nagios Access
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswd.users
Require valid-user
 /Directory

OK, just to make sure I am doing this exactly correct, 
do I substitute Nagios Access to whatever login name I used when I 
created my .htpasswd file?

Also, for Directory /change/this, do I set this to the directory
where my .htpasswd file is located? Or is this the path to the dir I am trying 
to
protect?

Or, for AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/htpasswd.users, is this the path and 
filename
of the .htpasswd file?

RE: [CentOS] Can't get .htaccess to work

2008-04-19 Thread Pam Astor

 Jim, you forget that he's using .htaccess, the above cannot work there. He  
 has to leave that out.  Pam: if you can access the directory just fine this 
 does *not* mean that  you misconfigured your .htaccess file (although it 
 looked like that as  well), it means it is not getting used at all. An 
 .htaccess file that is  not allowed by server config or that contains wrong 
 configuration throws a  500 Internal Server Error. You have also been told a 
 while back I think  that you should look in the logs. Did you do that? I 
 don't remember having  seen any response from you about that. Do the 
 following: place a single fake command like this is a fake  command in 
 your .htaccess file and then access the directory. If you  don't get a 500 
 error, the file is not getting used. Which means next step  is to check your 
 logs and your configuration why it's not getting used and  also double-check 
 that it's in the correct directory and you access the  correct directory (as 
 I don't know what content you have there this  content may either be 
 identifying it uniquely or not).  You should also read the Apache 
 documentation at httpd.apache.org, it may  help you find that probably tiny 
 mistake that you make, but we can't tell  you as we don't see all of the 
 picture. You should also read up on how you  can achieve the password 
 protection without an .htaccess file. This file  is completely unnecessary 
 if you have access to the apache conf, anyway.
 
OK, I put the fake command in and now I'm getting an error via web page:
 
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to 
complete your request.
 
Here are the last two log file entries for that httpd request:
 
 
12.34.567.89 - - [19/Apr/2008:13:46:23 -0400] GET / HTTP/1.1 500 
61612.34.567.89 - - [19/Apr/2008:13:47:12 -0400] GET / HTTP/1.1 200 20
I Changed the IP's.
I guess there were two seperate errors, the last error - even when I corrected 
and removed the fake
command and reloaded, I could not access the site, so the second error 
indicates the fake message removed
but all else being (supposedly) correct the same in the conf.d file.  Then I 
deleted .htaccess and .htpasswd and now I can
again access the site again.

[CentOS] Can't get .htaccess to work

2008-04-18 Thread Pam Astor

Hi,

I'm trying to password protect one of my web accessable 
directories and I can't get .htaccess to work in a Centos 5.1 box
Here's what I did

I created an .htaccess file with the contents:

AuthName Restricted Area 
AuthType Basic 
AuthUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd 
AuthGroupFile /dev/null 
require valid-user

and I uploaded it to the dir I want to protect.  Then I created my password 
outside of my web dir with the command: htpasswd -c .htpasswd pam
then followed password prompts, created my password.

So then I go to the site, and am not seeing any password required box,
I can see site without a login.

So then I figured it's not turned on in apache, and went to httpd.conf and 
changed 
AllowOverride None to AllowOverride AuthConfig

When I reload, apache will not reload.

What am I doing wrong?

 Just for the sake of simplicity, please create your htpasswd file in the

 Does the /passwd directory exist? It does now.  It did not when I 
 first ran the command, however I just created the directory 
 /passwd/passwordsand re ran the command as root, and still no 
 luck. 
I think you only need to create the directory /passwd, then use 'touch' to 
create the file, passwords 
Thanks Thomas,
 
Not familiar with the touch command, can you point me to info on it, or show
the command syntax?
Not sure if htpasswd creates the password file.  If not, the as root, run:  
touch passwords ,in the  /passwd directory.  It will be an empty file, but the 
'htpasswd -c' should create this for you.
 
I think you have a permissions problem so if you create the passwrds file with 
touch, you probably won't be able to add the password to it using htpasswd 
either.
 
Where are you creating these directories?  In the past when I used this, my 
passwd directory was /var/www/passwd/
 
I created /passwd/passwords in the main directory / and then ran the 
/usr/bin/htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords  famsite command.
I chmoded 777 the passwords dir so I don't think that's the problem.  I'm doing 
this as root.

RE: [CentOS] Apache Authorization Access Control - location of htpasswd in Centos 5.1?

2008-04-06 Thread Pam Astor

  I’m trying to set up a private family web site for genealogy, and want to 
  set up Apache Authorization access control for this site, and once the user 
  has logged in has access to the entire site. I’ve been reading the info at 
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html to learn how to do this. 
  I’m just planning on passing out the same username and password to all 
  family members and allow everyone in the family to use the same username 
  and password, to keep things simple. The server is running Centos 5.1.   
   Is there any reason not to give each user his own login:password? it  
  starts as user friendly and it ends up as a zombie...
OK I guess that makes sense, you mean if several people are logging in as the 
same user
the process will stay running and it's easier to hack?
 
The first problem I am running into – I’m trying to use the htpasswd 
utility that came with Apache 2.2 to create a password file. The 
default location according to above URL is in 
/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd but apparently it’s not located there 
in my install. I tried creating a password file by executing 
htpasswd -c /passwd/passwords famsite but apparently htpasswd is not in 
my path, I’m getting the “cannot create file /passwd/passwords famsite” 
error.
On another note, with this forums help I was able to create the user and 
password, so 
at least that problem is resolved.
   you can have a lot of fun under unix. try these:  # cp /a/foo /b/bar 
   ...How about creating the directory? # mkdir /passwd # cd 
   /passwd # htpsswd -c passwords famsite
Yup that works, at least one problem solved thanks. 
 
  that said, /passwd is a bad choice. /etc/httpd/security is better.
 
OK will do.  Question though, if both /passwd and /etc/httpd/security are both
owned by apache user, then is there really a difference in security between 
using either /passwd or /etc/httpd/security ?  As long as my permissions are 
properly
set?

RE: [CentOS] Apache Authorization Access Control - location of, htpasswd in Centos 5.1

2008-04-06 Thread Pam Astor

 It sounds like you are very used to the 'Windows' way of doing things. I 
 don't recommend creating a directory in the root filesystem for this 
 purpose. Its a bad idea, and not even a good idea in Windows.  Is there any 
 real need to deny outsiders access to your genealogy site? You would 
 probably get much help from outsiders (long-forgotten 2nd cousins etc) who 
 stumble upon your site.
Yes you are probabally right, just curious though about using apache 
access control for a site, never did it before, maybe at some point I'll have
a use for it.  Question though, if my permissions are set properly, to maybe 
555 or 644 and
the directories are owned by apache, then does it really matter where the
directory is?  Or is it much easier to hack if it's in the root file system?  
If so,
why is it easier to hack?
 
  This solution you are wanting, is not often used because of its 
  inflexibility. I only see it used by extreme noobs, wanting to 
  password-protect an area of their site. While family members will have 
  their interest piqued by having access to a 'secret' site, their interest 
  may wane at the annoyance of having to enter a user/password each time and 
  'disappear' once the initial novelty wears off.
You are prob. correct there. I guess the only reason why I thought
a password protected site would be a good idea, is because I am using
phpgedview, and names are viewable and anyone can edit it who has a phpgedview 
account.
I figured that people still living who want to add their personal infomration 
to the
family tree might be less likely to do so if they think their names and 
personal info
are publically view able.
 
 If you are wanting 'security through obscurity', an even quicker solution is 
 simply to place an index.html file in your web directory /var/www/html This 
 will stop a casual user from browsing and getting a listing of files at your 
 site, since they will get a blank page if they go to www.yoursite.com Now 
 add a directory (say) /familygenealogy2 and put all your genealogy web files 
 in this directory. So for any member of your family to browse the site, they 
 just need to point the browser to (and bookmark) 
 www.yoursite.com/familygenealogy2 and once there. can browse any file you 
 have placed. This will have the same security as requiring a user/password, 
 since no-one can see the files unless they know the directory 
 /familygenealogy2 exists. I really, really would choose this solution, 
 rather than a single user/password.
 
Your secirity through obscurity idea is a good one for static pages,
but my hope is that other distant family members will want to add their info
and that maybe they would be hesitant to do so if they think others on the 
net can see it.  I have a robots.txt User-Agent: *Disallow: / file, but don't 
some search engines still ignore them?
 
Anyway maybe I am just overly concerned about this privacy thing.

I tried creating a password file by executing htpasswd -c   
/passwd/passwordsfamsite but apparently htpasswd is not in my 
path, I’m getting the“cannot create file /passwd/passwords

 Well, I just tried chomd 777 passwords and still the same problem.  
Can you show us what the result of the  ls -l /passwd/passwords

Thanks for asking there, actually the problem has been solved, I deleted the 
passwords 
dir and chmoded 777 the passwd dir and the unsername and password were created
by htpasswd.

RE: [CentOS] Un Installing a hard drive in a Centos 5.1 box

2008-03-23 Thread Pam Astor

 OK when you say livecd, do you mean the Centos 5.1 distro
 disks? I have a full set of them, a 7 disk set I got from Linux Central.
 Can I just boot off disk 1 from my set?

 LiveCD as in the livecd:

 eg :
 http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/isos/i386/CentOS-5.1-i386-LiveCD.iso

 ...or, if I left the install the way it is now, are there any dis advantages 
 of leaving the file
 system the way it is - spread over two hard drives?

 nope, just that if you loose one drive, you loose everything (
 potentially ) on the entire filesystem

 Should just get another hard drive and back it up the way it is?
 Would ther be any problems with my backup if left the way it is?

 Both those should be fine


 Or ahould I just do a complete re install of the OS after backing up my 
 data...

 What do you reccomend -leave it as is, re configure it, or re install it?


 I'd recommend you spend the time in learning about lvm and resize the
 filesystem down to one drive, LVM does take about 2 - 3 hours to work
 out, but once you do work it out - its fantastic and something that
 makes Linux really worthwhile :D

 but that is my personal opinion, you should still do whatever you feel
 like - it is, after all, a free world :D

Hi there,

I downloaded and burned the LiveCD, and am able to boot off ot it, at least
I got off to a start!

You mentioned a few days ago the LVM HowTo - Is this what you were
talking about:  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ ?  Or did you mean
someplace on the Centos site?  I'm going through the other URL you
posted - http://www.centos.org/docs/5/, have not found anything
specifically titled lvm how to yet.

Also I tried booting off of LiveCD and got the below warning, wondered if
you could give me a clue as to where to start:

Warning:  Cannot Find Root File System!

Create symlin /dev/root and then exit this shell to continue the boot sequence.

Bash:  No job control in this shell

[CentOS] Un Installing a hard drive in a Centos 5.1 box

2008-03-20 Thread Pam Astor

I'm fairly new to Linux and I'm trying to un install a hard drive from my 
Centos 5.1
box running KDE. When I built the PC, I installed two 500 gig maxtors in 
the tower,
then I installed Centos. Now I've decided that I want to remove the slave 
drive and
use it as an external backup drive - I am mounting it into one of those 
external
drive cases with a built in fan.

When I physically removed the drive and restarted the PC, centos would not 
boot up and
went into a kernel panic. I'm sure I'm supposed to somehow unmount the 
thing before
I do this, and that's my question - how do I un-install the hard drive - 
software
wise - so that on next boot up, centos don't go crazy looking for it?

run
# mount
this will show the mounted partitions. find the partitions that are on
the second drive and unmount them:
# umount /path/to/partition
if a service uses them, you'll see an error. you will need to fix the
errors until you can unmount them.
then comment out these partitions in /etc/fstab.

OK this is what I have when I run mount - does it appear that
I have both drives on one volume?:


 /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 on /
type ext3 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts
(rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type
binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type
rpc_pipefs (rw)

If the machine panics at boot time, there is a good chance that you
installed with LVM and its got both the drives into one volume. You will
need to reinstall that second harddrive, then work out the process of
shrinking the filesystem down to only 1 drive, then remove the second
drive. The scope of this work might be too much for an email, so I can
best point you at the LVM HowTo. There are also some good lvm tips in
the CentOS5 docs ( http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ )

yup, its all 1 Volume, you are going to need to shrink the lv's - then
get your volgroup onto /dev/sda only. info on howto do that is in the
lvm howto. also, I'd recommend you download the centos-5.1/livecd and
actually do the work once booted from the livecd. shinking filesystems
requires you to have the filesystem unmounted, so doing it from the
livecd is the only way you are going to manage it here.

OK when you say livecd, do you mean the Centos 5.1 distro

I'm having a problem mounting my new
CDRW DVD in my new machine I just built.  The motherboard is an Intel
DP35DP, and I connected the CDRW DVD via ribbon cable into the
motherboard  IDE slot.  Centos 5.1 is installed and functioning fine
so far (other than this problem).


I can't mount the CDRW-DVD unit.  I was
able to run cdrecord with the command:
cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=6,0,0 -data
/home/mydir/Desktop/backup_bootimage.iso to copy a file that I
downloaded, apparently the data copy went fine, but when I ejected
the CD and then tried to re mount the same CD to read the file, it would not
mount.  So then I tried mounting the Centos 5.1 distro disk that I used to 
install the OS, and am having the same problem with the distro disk.  If anyone 
could give me some suggestions or insights I'd
appreciate it.  I have provided some data below.


I tried the below commands after
ejecting the CD and then executing the commands while the drawer is
open, and I got the below outputs:

[CentOS] Un Installing a hard drive in a Centos 5.1 box

2008-03-16 Thread Pam Astor
Hi Guys,

I'm fairly new to Linux and I'm trying to un install a hard drive from my 
Centos 5.1 box running KDE.  When I built the PC, I installed two 500 gig 
maxtors in the tower, then I installed Centos.  Now I've decided that I want to 
remove the slave drive and use it as an external backup drive - I am mounting 
it into one of those external drive cases with a built in fan.

When I physically removed the drive and restarted the PC, centos would not boot 
up and went into a kernel panic.  I'm sure I'm supposed to somehow unmount the 
thing before I do this, and that's my question - how do I un-install the hard 
drive - software wise - so that on next boot up, centos don't go crazy looking 
for it?

If the machine panics at boot time, there is a good chance that you
installed with LVM and its got both the drives into one volume. You will
need to reinstall that second harddrive, then work out the process of
shrinking the filesystem down to only 1 drive, then remove the second
drive. The scope of this work might be too much for an email, so I can
best point you at the LVM HowTo. There are also some good lvm tips in
the CentOS5 docs ( http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ )

OK this is what I have when I run mount - does it appear that
I have both drives on one volume?:
